\nAbu Dhabi\u2019s skyline has changed dramatically in recent years – most notably at Reem Island, where so many buildings are being erected that it looks like someone is attempting to create a forest made from glass and steel towers. For lovers of the high life, one apartment currently on the market within Aldar Properties\u2019 Shams Abu Dhabi scheme offers perhaps the best views over the entire city and the surrounding area including the mangroves, Saadiyat Island and Yas Island.
\nThe unit straddles the 71st and 72nd floors of the 74-storey Sky Tower, which are the two highest residential floors. This six-bedroom, eight bathroom unit has a double-height living room with a massive window as its focal point. It is on the market for Dh16 million.\u201cA lot of clients ask for uninterrupted views,\u201d says Joanna Tate, a senior sales agent at Crompton Partners, the estate agent marketing the property. \u201cThey don\u2019t want another building to block their views or have construction noise.\u00a0There is no chance of either with this apartment.\u201d
\nAlthough completed in 2011, the unit has never been lived in and has only been on the market for the past three months, with the owner\u2019s family opting to live in a villa instead of this apartment.The apartment contains a large, fully integrated kitchen as well as a separate mini-kitchen and a bar kitchen. The six master bedrooms all have walk-in wardrobes and there is also a breakfast room, dining room, three reception rooms, a maid\u2019s room and a pantry. In total, it has 8,713 sq ft of space and comes with three parking spots in the building\u2019s basement.
\nAnd although much of the surrounding area of Reem Island continues to resemble a giant construction site, the facilities within Sky Tower and its neighbouring 65-storey Sun Tower are so comprehensive that you don\u2019t need to leave the complex. It has three gyms, including a women-only facility, exercise rooms, squash courts, two outdoor tennis courts and a multi-sports court. There are also three swimming pools (including a children\u2019s pool), a play area, sun loungers and a juice bar.
\nThe ground and first floor of the towers are also linked by the Boutik retail mall with a Waitrose supermarket, cafes, restaurants, a food court, banks and other stores. The building also offers ample visitor parking – a major plus for Abu Dhabi.Q&AJoanna Tate from Crompton Partners tells Michael Fahy about the appeal of high-rise living in Abu DhabiSo, who would live in a house like this? Someone who is all about status and prestige. Definitely someone who likes or has to entertain a lot, while wishing to retain their privacy for the rest of the time. A chief executive of a large corporation, a hotshot lawyer or a diplomat of some kind. The unit has six bedrooms, though, so is suitable for an end user with a family.\u00a0
\nWhat is so special about this apartment?\u00a0\u00a0The real attraction is the 6.2 metre x 9.5m, double-height window that greets you as you walk through the door. You cannot fail to be impressed.\u00a0It\u2019s quite breathtaking – like being on top of the world.Also, they say that kitchens and bathrooms sell a property. This apartment has got what I would call a real cook\u2019s kitchen and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi to sip a beverage from while you gaze down at the mangroves. It\u2019s fabulous.
\n\u00a0But isn\u2019t Reem Island still largely a building site?Reem Island is definitely a work in progress, but eventually it will be home to 200,000 people. The good thing about this unit is that because it is on the top floor of the tallest tower on Reem Island, what you see is not what\u2019s going on on the ground level, but the far-reaching, uninterrupted views across the water to Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi city and over the Grand Mosque district.\u00a0You can see for miles and a lot of it is natural habitat and water.
